Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 puff pastry sheet
- 1/2 cup Nutella
Baking Essentials:
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the air fryer by heating it to 375F (190C), ensuring a consistent temperature for optimal cooking.
- Carefully slice the puff pastry into uniform small squares, maintaining precision for even cooking.
- Position a dollop of Nutella precisely in the center of each pastry square, creating a delectable core.
- Gently gather the pastry edges, pinching and folding to create a sealed pouch or compact ball that encases the Nutella filling.
- Apply a light, even coating of egg wash across the surface of each pastry, promoting a glossy, golden appearance.
- Carefully transfer the prepared pouches into the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded, and cook for 6-8 minutes until they transform into a rich, golden-brown color.
- Optional: Sprinkle a delicate layer of powdered sugar over the crisp pastries, enhancing their visual appeal and adding a subtle sweetness. Serve immediately while warm for the most delightful experience.
Notes
- Choose puff pastry that’s cold but not frozen for the best texture and easier handling.
- Ensure edges are completely sealed to prevent Nutella from leaking during air frying.
- Use a pastry brush with soft bristles to apply egg wash evenly for a beautiful golden sheen.
- Experiment with alternative fillings like chocolate spread, fruit preserves, or cream cheese for variety.
